## README

Function Queue
==============

### In-memory, error handling (retry) function queue, with the ability to throttle simultaneous executions.

[![Build Status](https://secure.travis-ci.org/oleics/node-fqueue.png)](http://travis-ci.org/oleics/node-fqueue)

It is the distillate of [node-filewalker](https://github.com/oleics/node-filewalker)

### Installation

```npm install fqueue```

### Usage

Please have a look at the examples.

Class FunctionQueue
-------------------

Inherits from events.EventEmitter

### Options

```scope``` (default: this)

```maxPending``` (default: -1)  
Maximum asynchronous jobs.  
Useful to throttle the number of simultaneous disk-operations.

```maxAttempts``` (default: 3)  
Maximum reattempts on error.  
Set to 0 to disable reattempts.  
Set to -1 for infinite reattempts.

```attemptTimeout``` (default: 5000 ms)  
Minimum time to wait before reattempt. In milliseconds.  
Useful to let network-drives remount, etc.

### Properties

.scope  
.maxPending  
.maxAttempts  
.attemptTimeout

.running  
.paused  
.pending  
.dequeued  
.warnings  
.errors  
.attempts  
.queue

### Methods

this ```.start(func, args [, scope [, timeout]])```  
Starts the function-queue.

this ```.enqueue(func, args [, scope [, timeout]])```  
Enqueues a function for later execution.

this ```.done()```  
Tell the function-queue that the function has done execution.

this ```.error(err, func, args [, scope [, maxAttempts [, timeout]]])```  
Tell the function-queue about an error. This either initiates an  
reattempt or emits the 'error' event.  
*Notice:* You need to call ```.done()``` even if the function  
called ```.error([..])```.

#### General Methods

boolean ```.isEmpty()```  
Returns ```true``` if the queue is empty, otherwise ```false```

this ```.pause()```  
Pauses the execution of functions. Emits the 'pause' event after  
all pending functions completed.

this ```.resume()```  
Resumes the previously paused execution of functions. Immediately  
emits the 'resume' event.

### Events

pause  
resume  
done  
error err  
retry func, args, err, r, scope
